Turing contributed to logic, mathematics, biology, philosophy, cryptanalysis, and formatively to the areas later known as computer science, cognitive science, ArtiWcial Intelligence, and ArtiWcial Life. Educated at Sherborne School in Dorset, Turing went up to King’s College, Cambridge, in October 1931 to read Mathematics. He graduated in 1934, and in March 1935 was elected a Fellow of King’s, at the age of only 22. In 1936 he published his most important theoretical work, ‘On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem [Decision Problem]’ (Chapter 1, with corrections in Chapter 2). This article described the abstract digital com- puting machine—now referred to simply as the universal Turing machine—on which the modern computer is based. Turing’s fundamental idea of a universal stored-programme computing machine was promoted in the United States by John von Neumann and in England by Max Newman. By the end of 1945 several groups, including Turing’s own in London, were devising plans for an electronic stored-programme universal digital computer—a Turing machine in hardware. In 1936 Turing left Cambridge for the United States in order to continue his research at Princeton University. There in 1938 he completed a Ph.D. entitled ‘Systems of Logic Based on Ordinals’, subsequently published under the same title (Chapter 3, with further exposition in Chapter 4). Now a classic, this work addresses the implications of Go¨del’s famous incompleteness result. Turing gave a new analysis of mathematical reasoning, and continued the study, begun in ‘On Computable Numbers’, of uncomputable problems—problems that are ‘too hard’ to be solved by a computing machine (even one with unlimited time and memory). Turing returned to his Fellowship at King’s in the summer of 1938. At the outbreak of war with Germany in September 1939 he moved to Bletchley Park, the wartime headquarters of the Government Code and Cypher School (GC & CS). Turing’s brilliant work at Bletchley Park had far-reaching consequences. 1 At 2 Warrington Crescent, London W9, where now there is a commemorative plaque. 2 | Jack Copeland ‘I won’t say that what Turing did made us win the war, but I daresay we might have lost it without him’, said another leading Bletchley cryptanalyst.2 Turing broke Naval Enigma—a decisive factor in the Battle of the Atlantic—and was the principal designer of the ‘bombe’, a high-speed codebreaking machine. The ingenious bombes produced a Xood of high-grade intelligence from Enigma. It is estimated that the work done by Turing and his colleagues at GC & CS shortened the war in Europe by at least two years.3 Turing’s contribution to the Allied victory was a state secret and the only oYcial recognition he received, the Order of the British Empire, was in the circumstances derisory. The full story of Turing’s involvement with Enigma is told for the Wrst time in this volume, the material that forms Chapters 5, 6, and 8 having been classiWed until recently. In 1945, the war over, Turing was recruited to the National Physical Labora- tory (NPL) in London, his brief to design and develop an electronic digital computer—a concrete form of the universal Turing machine. His design (for the Automatic Computing Engine or ACE) was more advanced than anything else then under consideration on either side of the Atlantic. While waiting for the engineers to build the ACE, Turing and his group pioneered the science of computer programming, writing a library of sophisticated mathematical pro- grammes for the planned machine. Turing founded the Weld now called ‘ArtiWcial Intelligence’ (AI) and was a leading early exponent of the theory that the human brain is in eVect a digital computer. In February 1947 he delivered the earliest known public lecture to mention computer intelligence (‘Lecture on the Automatic Computing Engine’ (Chapter 9)). His technical report ‘Intelligent Machinery’ (Chapter 10), written for the NPL in 1948, was eVectively the Wrst manifesto of AI. Two years later, in his now famous article ‘Computing Machinery and Intelligence’ (Chapter 11), Turing proposed (what subsequently came to be called) the Turing test as a criterion for whether machines can think. The Essential Turing collects together for the Wrst time the series of Wve papers that Turing devoted exclusively to ArtiWcial Intelligence (Chapters 10, 11, 12, 13, 16). Also included is a discussion of AI by Turing, Newman, and others (Chapter 14). In the end, the NPL’s engineers lost the race to build the world’s Wrst working electronic stored-programme digital computer—an honour that went to the Computing Machine Laboratory at the University of Manchester in June 1948. The concept of the universal Turing machine was a fundamental inXuence on the Manchester computer project, via Newman, the project’s instigator. Later in 2 Jack Good in an interview with Pamela McCorduck, on p. 53 of her Machines Who Think (New York: W. H. Freeman, 1979). 3 This estimate is given by Sir Harry Hinsley, oYcial historian of the British Secret Service, writing on p. 12 of his and Alan Stripp’s edited volume Codebreakers: The Inside Story of Bletchley Park (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1993). Alan Turing 1912–1954 | 3 1948, at Newman’s invitation, Turing took up the deputy directorship of the Computing Machine Laboratory (there was no Director). Turing spent the rest of his short career at Manchester University. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in March 1951 (a high honour) and in May 1953 was appointed to a specially created Readership in the Theory of Computing at Manchester.

  • Director of Athletics Gene Doris Dear Friends
    Director of Athletics Gene Doris Dear Friends: This past May, for the 23rd time as Director of Athletics, I had the opportunity to reflect as an outstanding class of student-athletes walked across Bellarmine Lawn to accept their diplomas as graduates of Fairfield University. The following day, I joined in the special graduation ceremony of our MAAC Championship softball team who had returned from a fabulous effort in the NCAA postseason. Both ceremonies encapsulated what we strive to attain at Fairfield: athletic success and academic excellence. But in this particular year, those events had even more significance for me, since just weeks before I had announced that I would be leaving Fairfield to pursue new ventures. I can’t help but compare myself to the newly minted Class of 2017, equipped with the lessons learned on this campus and proud to boast our lifelong associations with Fairfield University knowing that we were prepared for the journey. The 2016-17 season, my “senior year” with the Stags, was another year full of successes for our student-athletes athletically, academically and in the community. The year of competition was highlighted by MAAC Championship campaigns for our volleyball and softball teams, who earned the opportunity to represent Fairfield and the MAAC on the national stage in the NCAA postseason. In addition, the baseball team became the first MAAC club since 2012 to win back-to-back MAAC Regular Season Championships. In the classroom, 321 Fairfield student-athletes earned a grade-point average of 3.0 or better in the spring of 2017, including 169 Dean’s List students and 30 Stags with a perfect 4.0 GPA.
